What happened

Knicks fans must have felt bad about invading a Philadelphia reporter’s airtime after their Eastern Conference semifinals sweep, as they sent her flowers as a gift.

Why it matters

Cheyenne Corin, a reporter on 6abc in Philly, was attempting to do her job in recapping Game 4 and the series inside Xfinity Mobile Arena, but rowdy Knicks fans swarmed her.

Common ground
